The slide at the playground has a height of 5 feet.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Assuming the slide is straight - 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the slide is straight - it creates a right triangle with long side 13 feet and one of the short sides of 5 feet. We need to find the other short side.

We know that:

$x^2 + 5^2 = 13^2\\x^2 + 25 = 169\\x^2 = 144\\x = 12 \vee x = -12\textrm{; but -12 doesn't make sense}$
